When the book was first announced in the New York Times, the very first bookstore to email us to stock xkcd: volume 0 was Borderlands Books, a San Francisco geek institution. Not only were we thrilled to have our book on their shelves, we could hand-deliver the first batch -- they're only a few blocks away from breadpig HQ.
The cats were feeling frisky when we dropped off their shipment and it seemed fit to mark the occasion with a few snapshots. If you're ever in the Mission neighborhood of SF, there's no shortage of independent bookstores, but there's only one geek mecca known as Borderlands. Give it a visit, say 'Hi' to the hairless cats and maybe pick up a copy of xkcd: volume 0. Or if you hate real-life, follow them on the twitter.

[…] loves independent booksellers [see our entry on Borderlandands Books — first bookstore in the universe to carry xkcd: volume 0] and we’re working on a great way […]
It warms my heart every time. Or is that just what it feels like when you get really, really cold?
I think you need to let your local Waterstones know and have them email feedback at breadpig.com :)
Hey, when's that gonna hit Waterstones? It's annoying that I can't get it in the UK, and I'm not old enough to buy stuff online yet.
